What Happened

Nearly 20 years after the 2006 Malegaon blasts that killed 31 people, the Bombay High Court quashed charges against four remaining accused, leaving no one standing trial. The case faced three investigation agency probes—Maharashtra ATS, CBI, and NIA—with nine Muslim men discharged in 2016 and seven acquitted in the separate 2008 case.
